MOBILVETTA ADMIRAL K6.3

There's plenty of Italian style and clever design to admire in this smart new camper, says Peter Baber

This two-berth is Mobilvetta's first van conversion. The Italian brand is known for producing luxurious A-classes, with its popular K-Yacht range inspired by nautical design.

How easily would this translate into a campervan? On first impressions, viewing the 'van at Marquis Leisure's Lancashire branch, we'd say well.

With the vehicle kitted out in black, you get a standard Fiat Ducato cab, with an eight-speed automatic gearbox included. There's a host of features designed to make driving less stressful, including cruise control, traction plus, electronic stability control, a rear-view camera and cab air conditioning.

But it's perhaps only after you have swivelled the cab seats, and come into the front dinette, that the similarities with other Mobilvettas are apparent. There's the same high-gloss finish on the lockers, and a fetching striped floor throughout. The clip-on table in front of the two travel seats in the bench at the back is particularly innovative.

Not only does it have drinks holders, but it folds, so you shouldn't have to squeeze in. It also has a thin extension that swings out, so even the person in the driving seat has a place to dine.
